What is Vitamin C + Echinacea? What is its benefits?
Vitamin
C is an antioxidant. Antioxidants are substances that may protect your
cells against the effects of free radicals. Free radicals are molecules
produced when your body breaks down food, or by environmental exposures
like tobacco smoke and radiation. Vitamin C is important for your skin,
bones, and connective tissue. It promotes healing and helps the body
absorb iron.
The
body also needs vitamin C to make collagen, a protein required to help
wounds heal. In addition, vitamin C improves the absorption of iron from
plant-based foods and helps the immune system work properly to protect
the body from disease.
Some people may need extra vitamin C:- Pregnant/breastfeeding women
- Smokers
- People recovering from surgery
- Burn victims
In
the 1970s, Chemistry and Peace Nobel laureate Linus Pauling promoted
daily megadoses of vitamin C (the amount in 12 to 24 oranges) as a way
to prevent colds and some chronic diseases.
Researches:
Scientists
are studying vitamin C to understand how it affects health. Here are
several examples of what this research has shown.
Cancer prevention and treatment
People
with high intakes of vitamin C from fruits and vegetables might have a
lower risk of getting many types of cancer, such as lung, breast, and
colon cancer. However, taking vitamin C supplements, with or without
other antioxidants, doesn't seem to protect people from getting cancer.
Vitamin
C dietary supplements and other antioxidants might interact with
chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer. People being treated for
cancer should talk with their oncologist before taking vitamin C or
other antioxidant supplements, especially in high doses.
Cardiovascular disease
People
who eat lots of fruits and vegetables seem to have a lower risk of
cardiovascular disease. Researchers believe that the antioxidant content
of these foods might be partly responsible for this association because
oxidative damage is a major cause of cardiovascular disease. However,
scientists aren't sure whether vitamin C itself, either from food or
supplements, helps protect people from cardiovascular disease. It is
also not clear whether vitamin C helps prevent cardiovascular disease
from getting worse in people who already have it.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts
AMD
and cataracts are two of the leading causes of vision loss in older
people. Researchers do not believe that vitamin C and other antioxidants
affect the risk of getting AMD. However, research suggests that vitamin
C combined with other nutrients might help keep early AMD from
worsening into advanced AMD.
In
a large study, older people with AMD who took a daily dietary
supplement with 500 mg vitamin C, 80 mg zinc, 400 IU vitamin E, 15 mg
beta-carotene, and 2 mg copper for about 6 years had a lower chance of
developing advanced AMD. They also had less vision loss than those who
did not take the dietary supplement.
People who have or are developing the disease might want to talk with their doctor about taking dietary supplements.
The
relationship between vitamin C and cataract formation is unclear. Some
studies show that people who get more vitamin C from foods have a lower
risk of getting cataracts.
The common cold
Although
vitamin C has long been a popular remedy for the common cold, research
shows that for most people, vitamin C supplements do not reduce the risk
of getting the common cold. However, people who take vitamin C
supplements regularly might have slightly shorter colds or somewhat
milder symptoms when they do have a cold.
Echinacea:
Results
of archeological digs indicate that Native Americans may have used
echinacea for more than 400 years to treat infections and wounds and as a
general "cure-all." Throughout history people have used echinacea to
treat scarlet fever, syphilis, malaria, blood poisoning, and diphtheria.
Today,
people use echinacea to shorten the duration of the common cold and flu
and reduce symptoms, such as sore throat (pharyngitis), cough, and
fever. Many herbalists also recommend echinacea to help boost the immune
system and help the body fight infections.
Several
laboratory and animal studies suggest that echinacea contains active
substances that enhance the activity of the immune system, relieve pain,
reduce inflammation, and have hormonal, antiviral, and antioxidant
effects. For this reason, professional herbalists may recommend
echinacea to treat urinary tract infections, vaginal yeast (candida)
infections, ear infections (also known as otitis media), athlete's foot,
sinusitis, hay fever (also called allergic rhinitis), as well as
slow-healing wounds. One study even suggests that echinacea extract
exerted an antiviral action on the development of recurrent HSVI when
supplied prior to infection.
